I'll leave it up to the committee to choose the definition, but there are a number of definitions. As mentioned, the Conflict of Interest Act has a definition, but so does the Public Service Employment Act.
Therefore, depending on how the various acts are used, the definition is usually understood as having a particular scope. Having definitions is very important in order to make sure that the commissioner, chief executive or the person responsible in the department can apply the definition in a practical way that achieves the intended purpose.
